The books area was too small. And we explored the rooms upstairs but they were sadly devoid of books and locked. Otherwise the library was clean and the staff were helpful. Please bring back more books!!!!! ‍‍‍ …

Clean and quiet but why are the toilets closed and had to ask for the key for someone to accompanied you to open the door, what if you want to do an emergency...plus they suit them selves when they want to open the door by then you would have an accident!!!

I came to this library for the first time today. This place is a mistake. I have no idea who agreed to organize classes for children 0-2, bearing in mind that there is only one space for everyone. They do not have special rooms to separate

  • Louis S

This place is only opening for four hours on a Sunday? (But it's better than the Cubitt Town library, they're shut today) I used to live in Leyton when I was studying, and the library was going through some refurbishment works back

Way too much noise!!! And too hot in the summer.. No point in reporting noise, staff take no notice. Maybe they can't hear me. Worst library in London by a long country mile!!! Hand drier in toilets not working for at least four weeks.

  • Peter Dearden

Horribly loud most days. I have been to this library to make use of the (extremely limited) study space. However, it is not uncommon for parents to bring their children in for a shouting match and a good run around. I even witnessed a

I really love that there are so many different rooms where you can focus. The building itself is imposing and old but well taken care of, huge windows a little everywhere. Reminds me of a typical English library except there is no old

  • Andy Richardson

While the library is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, to the ear it is a different story. Children and parents have no consideration for others in the library. Reporting noise to members of staff does nothing to solve this issue.

  • Dl Contact

I love this library : the building is amazing, the staff is always helpful and welcoming, it's really easy to use and it has great services. I go there every week and am really grateful we have such a great local library. Thank you

  • Kaye Bagshaw

Nice that fiction is now on ground floor, but think that the selection has shrunk. Opening hours have also shrunk - now closed on Sundays Lovely staff, just wish it was open more and that they didn't charge for reservations. …

Library is finally open after so long of closure. Its a 2/3 storey building offering books, computers, free wifi to work and study. They use to offer printing services and council related support. Not sure if they still do.

  • shanti gosai

It would be good if LBWF can at least provide a approximate date of re-opening the library. This is a critical time for students who have exams shortly to make use of quiet space to revise.

  • ninja Kabuto

Lovely, clean library on two levels. Runs programmes for all ages in the community. Has printing facilities if book not available has service where can search other libraries and get it in

  • Robert

Not a good place to study. Only 3 study tables.will not be coming back.All computers locked away upstairs. The picture by David H 6 years ago is not at all what is library looks like.

  • Coach Health

Beautiful building with a clock tower. Great location on popular part of Hight Street Leyton, less than 3 minutes walk from Leyton tube station and shopping area and bus stops.

  • A Seba

Got only 2stars due to not having the best range of books however have great computers and athetics but a library is about books not computers & looks so...

  • Fa R

Stinks of urine. Rude staff. Full of homeless people. Dirty and unhygienic. Entrance full of bird poo. I’m surprised this is open to the public.

  • Samantha Amadiegwu

A lovely local library, love the staff - so friendly and always have things to do- esp for kids. Only downside is the toilets are really dirty.

  • Shad

Great Looking Library Inside. Friendly Staff Who Are Always Helpful. Wish They Had A Wider Range Of Books Like Stratford Does!

  • NicK V

This place can become noisy at some point Some people who are visiting this place are not respecting others intimacy!

  • Iain Collins

Not a huge library but a very solid range and facilities for the size that tries to cater for everyone.

  • Nestor R

It's a great little community library which is currently celebrating black history month.

  • Fareeha Nudrat

Amazing library to study different stuff and to sit, use computer. Good place to study.

Modern interior design and great layout. Could do with a larger selection of books.

Impressive corner building. Did not get a chance to visit inside the library.
